Multiactivity_beacon advertiser for nRF52 (Service and iBeacon together)

[fab]

I am trying to port the experimental_ble_app_multiactivity_beacon advertiser example to nRF52.

I have used the document 'Migrating an nRF51 BLE project to nRF52' (infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp

I have only changed the Memory Areas as follows:

• IROM1: 0x1C000/0x64000
• IRAM1: 0x20002080/0xDF80

Moreover, I have changed:

• APP_COMPANY_IDENTIFIER to 0x004C
• BEACON_UUID, BEACON_MAJOR, BEACON_MINOR as per my needs.

(I did exactly the same with ble_app_beacon which worked as expected).

All the services are properly advertised and I am able to connect to them, but unfortunately the iBeacon is not detected by my iOS device.

I have also tried the timeslot variation, but I am not able to compile because of this error:

cannot open source input file "ble_stack_handler_types.h": No such file or directory

Can anyone help me with this or point me to a working sample of a BLS service together with iBeacon?

Tks

@Fab: I see no problem with the project you sent. After I connected, the device advertise as a beacon as show below:

The only modification I need to add is to add to main.c :

err_code = NRF_LOG_INIT();
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

As it's not included by default, it's a bug.

Hi Hung. Thank you for your time. I pretty sure that something is wrong here, but I cannot figure out what.

1. with -O3 and I am able to get a smaller executable but nothing changes. RTT is not problem.
2. I follow this procedure a) I connect to DK-52 using n/f Toolbox - HRM b) I use a my own iOS app to detect the iBeacon. It has been working for months. I am sure that the problem is not there. By the way, it works using the ble_app_beacon c) I use nRFConnect and it shows that on connection something changes. (I sent you my screenshots). Values looks like different from which you get. I stuck here. Could you please help me with a simple example with an iBeacon and a service with a characteristic that I can read and write? I am just starting with nRF52 and I am not able write it on my own. Do I need to switch to DK-51? Tks.
